Zero-rated exports made clear.

Exports are zero-rated

You can export under LUT without paying IGST, or pay and claim a refund. Pick the route that protects cash flow.

Imports and input tax credit

IGST paid on imports is generally available as input tax credit — don't leave it unclaimed.

Refunds without headaches

  • Keep invoices and shipping bills matched
  • File claims promptly with complete documents
  • Reconcile proceeds with your returns

Merchant exporters

The 0.1% concessional GST route can help merchant exporters — check if you qualify.

Keep more cash in your business.
